Distinguished Grand Ole Opry member Brad Paisley has always had the talent, the musicianship and the professionalism to make him one of the most successful and respected country music artists of our time.

Or could it just be that adorable baby face he never seems to grow out of?

Whatever it is, in this #ThrowbackThursday clip, we take a trip down memory lane with a montage of some of Paisley’s earliest and most endearing performances on the Grand Ole Opry stage. And in doing so, we are reminded how far he has come — and how far he still will inevitably go.

Brad is now the subject of the new movie, “American Saturday Night: Live From The Grand Ole Opry,” where he performs an emotional tribute to Little Jimmy Dickens. Brad joins fellow country superstars Blake Shelton, Darius Rucker, The Band Perry and Brett Eldredge starring in the much-anticipated new movie, which gives country music fans an inside look at the magic behind the scenes at the legendary Grand Ole Opry.
